Right now I'm desperate for a wrap, with sour cream, rice and grated cheese in it. Nothing else. And I could go without the cheese. I don't have any of that available so I'm just torturing myself imagining it.

What are you craving?

Pate on toast :(

mmm, i want some cupcakes, and chocolate chip biscuits, the crunchy processed kind. I've also had a mad craving for pop tarts that i've manged to resist for 9 months.
i'm due next week and have hit my self imposed limit of gaining 12.5 kilos - must try to make it one more healthy week and then maybe can slip a bit at xmas in new baby excuse mode ...

Your biege theme made me laugh Topaz.

I just want a lovely mocha, a really big, milky, chocolatey, foamy mug of coffee joy. Hmmmm... might have to go into town and get one :)

AuntyDutchy · 06/12/2011 12:28

Mashed potato in vast quantities mmmmm and also Walnut Whips which I have plenty of downstairs although I'll probably pick off the walnut :-)

HugosGoatee · 06/12/2011 12:29

Greek yoghurt with honey
Mint chocolates
Sour cream and onion Pringles
A gingerbread latte

Why doesn't my body tell me to eat things that are actually nutritious for me and baby? Confused

AuntyDutchy · 06/12/2011 12:30

I know the feeling, I really want a big chunk of stilton and we have some in the fridge at the moment...

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 06/12/2011 12:38

Oh yes, pate. I'm desperate to have foie gras over the holidays. A tiny little bit should be fine, right? Probably not...

I'm working away from home and for about 3 days all I want to eat is thick-cut, cheap bread white toast with lemon curd.

Must be thick cut highly-processed bread. The slices must be allowed to cool whilst balanced against each other to maximise crispiness and the lemon curd has to be a highly unnatural shade of lurid yellow. None of the natural stuff please.

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 06/12/2011 14:21

I walked past a Greggs the other day and was desperate to go in and buy a sausage roll. Only the thought of being seen by a MNer stopped me :o

Mmm gingerbread latte

HugosGoatee · 06/12/2011 17:08

I cracked and went out to the shop with my shopping list Grin

Got Pringles and mint chocs none of either left now though yum. Wish there was a Costa or Starbucks near me - any kind MNer who'd like to deliver me a gingerbread latte, I can easily regurgitate my tasty snacks penguin-style for you Smile

Impatientwino · 06/12/2011 17:32

I'm in the beige gang too..

anything carb related, pies, chips, bread, crisps... nom nom...

fortunately for the bean I can't get enough melon?!

:)

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 06/12/2011 18:25

Yay DH is going to grab wraps and sour cream :o

I had noodles for lunch/afternoon snack after Topaz's list, I just couldn't get them out of my head. The really awful 8p a pack, chicken flavour kind - delish!

I spent weeks only wanting stuff crust pizza, fortunately for my health the thought of that makes me ill now :)

I want pate. I'm guessing simply because it's on the You Are NOT ALLOWED list? Pate and toast. Toast and pate.

HandMini · 06/12/2011 19:01

A huge plate of chilli, with rice, garlicy youghut and a bit of fresh coriander.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

HandMini · 06/12/2011 19:02

PS I'm not pregnant...I just saw this thread and came on to join in the food-fest. Hope that's OK!

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 06/12/2011 19:07

Not a problem, I get terrible craving even when not pregnant - but normally for something tastier than sour cream and rice :o

Chilli sounds good though...

I had the oddest craving a couple of months ago. I really really felt like having grapes to the point of dreaming about it, which sounds really normal right? Utterly wrong, I craved for a particular kind that only grows where I come from Confused you can't even get it anywhere else in the country!
Luckily, my DP went there for a short holiday and my mum met him at the airport with a huge (I mean HUGE) box of grapes, I ate it all in a week. He was sweet enough not to even ask for one, even though I know he loves them too.
Since then, I have had any real obsessions. At least, none that included dreams... I have been feeling like having a good curry though :o

thejoanwilder · 06/12/2011 22:24

My doctor told me to avoid 'unneccessary carbs'. Sad
The unneccessary ones are the best though! That's all I've wanted to eat- bread, toast, cereal, whatever. I'm amazed I don't have scurvy. Trying to be good, and not gain too much for the remaining 3 months.

MiauMau · 06/12/2011 23:49

thejoanwilder I remember my mum when she was pregnant with my brother, she gained so much weight at the end that she literally burst out of her dress during our Summer holidays Confused

tethersjinglebellend · 07/12/2011 00:00

I am craving the strongest, bitterest most veiny, mouldy blue cheese known to man.

And clementines.

flossiXxX · 07/12/2011 08:55

MiauMau · 07/12/2011 10:15

tethersjinglebellend I totally get you! The fresh and sweet taste of clementines, mmm...
When my mum was pregnant with me, she just didn't understand why she was gaining too much weight up until she went to the doctor and confessed that she ate 2 pounds of oranges a day!!
